McGill24

McGill’s one day of giving – McGill24 – was another record-breaking event, with $1,878,453 raised for the University. The Faculty had the support of the Faculty Advisory Board, with $9,500 in donations to be released as part of the challenge fund. We received a gift every 8 minutes and increased the number of donors by 19%. Our faculty and staff rose to the occasion and donated to their cause within the Faculty, which released the $10,000. There was a lot of attention to the updates being displayed on the McGill24 website with faculty, staff and students sending messages out through various social media channels to encourage others to donate. Great videos were shared with the Mac community. Thank you to everyone who participated on this giving day and for your continued loyal support.
